The campaign for quicker tickers

may I humbly request a little more attention is given to the lowly ticker at the top of the page (the preferred vehicle of expression on this site for myself and no doubt many others). The same ones have been up for yonks, and I'm sure plenty of good ones have been submitted by lots of different writers while this has been the case. Thanks.

Wasn't like this in my day. When I served on the Editorial Team, I had the tickers running on time, let me tell you. And the place would see the business end of a hoover from time to time. These days it's like Hugh Heffner's safe room. I blame the coalition.
